Re: [Elecraft] Kpa1500 PSU orientation?
I just decided to lay it flat for now. Still plenty of foot room under the desk. 73 jim ab3cv On Wed, Apr 4, 2018 at 5:26 PM, Torrey Mitchell wrote: > After discussing it with Elecraft, I keep my KPA-1500 PS front panel down. > I place a small book between the front panel and the floor of my shack. > This prevents any pressure on the three green lights protruding a little > from the panel.

Re: [Elecraft] Kpa1500 PSU orientation?
After discussing it with Elecraft, I keep my KPA-1500 PS front panel down. I place a small book between the front panel and the floor of my shack. This prevents any pressure on the three green lights protruding a little from the panel. This configuration allows full ventilation access and facilitates routing the cables to the amplifier (they face upwards to the amp). Also allows easy access to the PS ON/OF switch.

Re: [Elecraft] Kpa1500 PSU orientation?
I'm headed with my son to a PSU Orientation (Penn State Univ) next week. Jim, you had me excited that PSU has a ham club with a kpa1500. I was ready to enroll... :-) 73, Mike ab3ap On Wed, Apr 4, 2018 at 1:53 PM, Jim Miller wrote: > I keep the KPA1500 PSU on its side feet when in operation under my desk. > > These feet are pretty thin.

[Elecraft] Kpa1500 PSU orientation?
I keep the KPA1500 PSU on its side feet when in operation under my desk. These feet are pretty thin. Should I put additional spacer boards beneath them to create more depth for airflow? 73 Jim AB3CV __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
